INSPIRED PROPHET OR MEDIUM?

WHY DID ELLEN WHITE FREQUENTLY USE FREEMASONIC AND OCCULT TERMS?

Freemasons and occultists do at times use Bible terms, texts and expressions. But the Bible does not
use Masonic and occult terminology neither would a prophet of God. Why is it then that Ellen
White, the prophet of the Seventh Day Adventist church whose writings are supposedly inspired by
God uses terms that you cannot find in the Bible but are used freely in both Freemasonry and the
occult?

The following quotations with their highlighted terms show Ellen White's conscious or unconscious
connection with Freemasonry. William Miller who had been a Baptist was also a Freemason and
that of the highest degree. There is no evidence that he ever saw any conflict between his Christian
belief and his being a Freemason on the contrary. William Miller had been the instigator of the
Millerite Movement which believed and declared that Jesus would come back in 1844. It was
around the time of the Millerite movement that Freemasonry practically went underground because
of antimasonic warfare. From the evidences that are now coining to light it appears that Masonic
and occult ideas resurfaced clothed as an angel of light after the 1844 disappointment. Both the
Jehovah's Witnesses and the Seventh Day Adventists appear to have Masonic roots. From the
quotations found below it becomes clear that Mrs White and her husband James and others
continued the work that William Miller had commenced. That there is a very definite connection is
not only found in Mrs White's writings and other Adventist Writings but can also be seen by the
obelisk placed on the White burial plot and which had been placed there in Ellen White's lifetime
and with her knowledge.

MRS WHITE AND THE HOLY WATCHER

Ellen G. White: "The holy Watcher from heaven is present at this season (communion service) to
make it one of soul searching, of conviction of sin, and of the blessed assurance of sins forgiven.
Christ in the fullness of His grace is there to change the current of the thoughts that have been
running in selfish channels. The Holy Spirit quickens the sensibilities of those who follow the
example of their Tord. " - Desire of Ages, page 650.

Ellen G. White: "Every nation that has come upon the stage of action has been permitted to
occupy its place on the earth, that it might be seen whether it would fulfil the purpose of "the
Watcher and the Holy One. " Prophecy has traced the rise and fall of the world's great empires-
Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. With each of these, as with nations of less power, history
repeated itself. Each had its period of test, each failed, its glory faded, its power departed, and its
place was occupied by another. " - {Ed 176.4}

Ellen G. White: "That same Holy Watcher who says, "I know Abraham, " knew Cornelius also, and
sent His angel with a message to the man who had received and improved all the light God had
given him. The angel said, "Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter. " Then the specific
directions are given, "He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall
tell thee what thou oughtest to do"" - (Acts 10:4-6). {2SM 217.1}

Ellen G. White: "Though Cornelius believed the prophecies and was looking for the Messiah to
come, he had not a knowledge of the gospel as revealed in the life and death of Christ. He was not a
member of the Jewish church and would have been looked upon by the rabbis as a heathen and
unclean. But the same Holy Watcher who said of Abraham, "I know him, " knew Cornelius also, and

sent a message direct from heaven to him. " - The Acts of the Apostles (1911), page 133,
paragraph 2.

Ellen G. White: "Why should we not expect the Holy Watcher to come into our schools? Our
youth are there to receive an education, to acquire a knowledge of the only true God. They are there
to learn how to present Christ as a sin-pardoning Saviour. They are there to gather up precious rays
of light, that they may diffuse light again. They are there to show forth the loving-kindness of the
Lord, to speak of His glory, to sound forth the praises of Him who has called us out of darkness into
His marvelous light... " - Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students (1913), page 370,

watchman upon the walls of Zion, were very intimate with another man's wife, betraying sacred

Watcher is present from heaven to make this season one of soul-searching, one of conviction of sin,
and of the blessed assurance of sins forgiven. "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace

Comment: These words "Holy Watcher" can be found only once in the Bible, in Daniel chapter 4.
They are not found together but are used in the following way: "watcher and holy one". The
meaning of this word "watcher" is messenger of God, one who is a sentinel to guard and to watch.
The Hebrew Lexicon says that it means: waking, watchful, wakeful one, watcher, angel. The words
"holy one" are basically repeating that this "watcher" is an angel. When something has been
repeated twice we can be certain that it is so.

Ellen White however uses this term for a member of the Godhead therefore bringing God down to a
level of an angel. But is she really speaking about a member of the Godhead? Who is she actually
speaking about?

WATCHERS is a term used by the occult, whether it be witches, satanists, or whatever. It is
usually a picture or similar object that has one or more eyes on it. It is stuck or hung some place to
act as a spy. For instance, someone hangs it on your house, or your church, or your office, or on a

comer. Look at it like a hidden camera and microphone. The person comes back later to the
WATCHER, and the demon in it tells the person all that it SAW and heard.

Charles Vail, a mason, writes The eye is the symbol of higher clairvoyance and the Master Mason
always possessed this sight. It was always placed in all Egyptian Temples and represents the
ancient never sleeping eye of God', Masonic author J D Buck writes 'about the all seeing eye that
a real Master (of the Lodge) has the eye of Siva, active in him, the vibrations of his brain
correspond to the synthesis of light and sound '.

One former witch and another Freemason comments To 'open ' the eye a little bit is to experience
psychic powers, To open the eye completely is to flood yourself with the pure consciousness of
Lucifer himself. (The eye is opened by the rituals of Freemasonry). "

MRS WHITE AND THE ALL-SEEING EYE

Ellen G. White: "There is need of each one in every school and in every institution, being, as was
Daniel, in such close connection with the Source of all wisdom, that his prayers will enable him to
reach the highest standard of his duties in every line, that he may be able to fulfill his scholastic
requirements not only under able teachers, but also under the supervision of heavenly intelligences,
knowing that the All-seeing, the Ever-sleepless Eye was upon him. "Special Testimonies on
Education, " October, 1893. {FE 230.2}

Ellen G. White: "Many shepherds of the flock, who professed to love Jesus, said that they had no
opposition to the preaching of Christ's coming, but they objected to the definite time. God's all-
seeing eye read their hearts. They did not love Jesus near. They knew that their unchristian lives
would not stand the test, for they were not walking in the humble path marked out by Him. These
false shepherds stood in the way of the work of God. The truth spoken in its convincing power
aroused the people, and like the jailer, they began to inquire, "What must I do to be saved?" But
these shepherds stepped in between the truth and the people, and preached smooth things to lead
them from the truth. They united with Satan and his angels, crying, "Peace, peace, " when there was
no peace. Those who loved their ease and were content with their distance from God would not be
aroused from their carnal security. I saw that angels of God marked it all; the garments of those
unconsecrated shepherds were covered with the blood of souls. " {EW 233.2}

Ellen G. White: "God's all-seeing eye notes the defects of all and the ruling passion of each, yet
He bears with our mistakes and pities our weakness. He bids His people cherish the same spirit of
tenderness and forbearance. True Christians will not exult in exposing the faults and deficiencies of
others. They will turn away from vileness and deformity, to fix the mind upon that which is
attractive and lovely. To the Christian every act of faultfinding, every word of censure or
condemnation, is painful. " - 5T 94-96255, Counsels for the Church (1991), page 177, paragraph
2.

Ellen G. White: "God's all-seeing eye notes the defects of all and the ruling passion of each, yet
He bears with our mistakes and pities our wealcness. He bids His people cherish the same spirit of
tenderness and forbearance. True Christians will not exult in exposing the faults and deficiencies of
others. They will . . . fix the mind upon that which is attractive and lovely. To the Christian every act
of faultfinding, every word of censure or condemnation, is painful... " - Lift Him Up (1988), page
287, paragraph 2.

Ellen G. White: "Satan is gratified to have the attention of youth attracted by anything to divert
their minds from God.... They are not aware that the heavenly Artist is taking cognizance of every
act, every word, ... and that even the thoughts and intents of the heart stand faithfully delineated. . .
. Those vain, frivolous words are all written in the book. Those false words are written. Those
deceptive acts, with the motives concealed from human eyes, but discerned by the all-seeing eye of
Jehovah, are all written in living characters. Every selfish act is exposed. The young generally
conduct themselves as though the precious hours of probation, while mercy lingers, were one grand
holiday, and that they are placed in this world simply for their own amusement. " - Our High
Calling (1961), page 283, paragraph 3.

Ellen G. White: "Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart"— the
human heart, with its conflicting emotions of joy and sorrow; the wandering, wayward heart, which
is the abode of so much impurity and deceit. 1 Samuel 16:7. He knows its motives, its very intents
and purposes. Go to Him with your soul all stained as it is. Like the psalmist, throw its chambers
open to the all-seeing eye, exclaiming, "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know
my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. " Psalm
139:23, 24. - Steps to Christ (1892, 1893), page 34/35, paragraph 3.

Ellen G. White: "There was a beautiful pink flower in the garden called the rose of Sharon. I
remember approaching it and touching the delicate petals reverently; they seemed to possess a
sacredness in my eyes. My heart overflowed with tenderness and love for these beautiful creations
of God. I could see divine perfection in the flowers that adorned the earth. God tended them, and
His all-seeing eye was upon them. He had made them and called them good. " - Testimonies For
The Church Volume One (1855-1868), page 19, paragraph 2.

Ellen G. White: "I saw that before the work of God can make any decided progress, the ministers
must be converted. When converted they will place less estimate upon wages and far more value
upon the important, sacred, solemn work which they have accepted at the hand of God to perform,
and which He requires them to do faithfully and well, as those who must render to Him a strict
account. A faithful record of all their works is daily made by the recording angels. All their acts,
and even the intents and purposes of the heart, stand faithfully revealed. Nothing is hid from the all-
seeing eye of Him with whom we have to do. Those who have thrown all their energies into the
cause of God, and who have ventured out and invested something, will feel that the work of God is
apart of them, and will not labor merely for wages. They will not be eyeservants and seek to please
themselves, but will consecrate themselves and all their interests to this solemn work. " -

Ellen G. White: "God's all-seeing eye notes the defects of all and the ruling". - Testimonies for
the Church Volume Five (1882-1889), page 95, paragraph 3.

Ellen G. White: "When the individual members of the church shall act as true followers of the
meek and lowly Saviour, there will be less covering up and excusing of sin. All will strive to act as if
in God's presence. They will realize that His all-seeing eye is ever upon them and that the most

secret thought is known to Him. The character, the motives, the desires and purposes, are as clear
as the light of the sun to the eye of the Omnipotent. But few bear this in mind. The larger class by
far do not realize what a fearful account must be rendered at the bar of God by all the
transgressors of His law. " - Testimonies for the Church Volume Five (1882-1889), page 147,
paragraph 2

Ellen G. White: "What a change would be seen if all who are in responsible positions would
realize that they are working under the eye of an all-seeing God. What is needed now is the free
working of the Holy Spirit on mind and heart. Without this our efforts will be fruitless. When the
Spirit molds and fashions us, our words and acts will reveal heartfelt thanksgiving. " - Testimonies
for the Church Volume Eight (1904), page 168, paragraph 1

Ellen G. White: "God's All-Seeing Eye. If we were to cherish an habitual impression that God
sees and hears all that we do and say and keeps a faithful record of our words and actions, and that
we must meet it all, we would fear to sin. Let the young ever remember that wherever they are, and
whatever they do, they are in the presence of God. No part of our conduct escapes observation. We
cannot hide our ways from the Most High. " - Testimonies on Sexual Behavior, Adultery, and
Divorce (1989), page 101, paragraph 3

Ellen G. White: "God would lead you through affliction and trials that you might have more
perfect trust and confidence in Him and that you might think less of your own judgment. You can
bear adversity better than prosperity. The all-seeing eye of Jehovah detected in you much dross
that you considered gold and too valuable to throw away. The enemy's power over you had at times
been direct and very strong... " - This Day With God (1979), page 306, paragraph 4

Ellen G. White: ''Let us ever bear in mind that our work is to be one of advancement. We are to
follow on to know the Lord. God understands the actuating principle of every mind. He has
witnessed the persistent, rebellious course of some whom he has warned and counseled. His all-
seeing eye has noted the determined following of human devisings. "The ways of man are before the
eyes of the Lord. "He "knoweth the thoughts. " "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding
the evil and the good. " "He looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven. "
"The Lord searcheth all hearts." — The Review and Herald, January 11, 1912, paragraph 17

Ellen G. White: "We repeat what has been so often said before, that among the people of God
today are dangers similar to those that well-nigh destroyed Israel. The command, "Thou shalt have
no other gods before me, " was spoken from Sinai for every soul that should live upon the earth. We
can no more free ourselves from the claims of God's law than we can hide from his all-seeing eye.
Its precepts reached every case, and its claims rest upon all the children of men to the close of
time. " - The Signs of the Times , August 11, 1881, paragraph 11

Ellen G. White: "Many have their hearts filled with the love of self. They are not aware that the
great heavenly Artist is taking cognizance of every act, every word; that their deportment, and even
the thoughts and intents of the heart, stand faithfully delineated; and that old and young will have

the faithful picture presented to them in all its deformity at the execution of the judgment. Those
vain, frivolous words are all written in the hook. Those false words are written. Those deceptive
acts, whose motives were concealed from human eyes, but discerned by the all-seeing eye of
Jehovah, are all written in living characters. Every selfish act will be exposed. " - The Signs of
the Times , May 1, 1884, paragraph 4

Ellen G. White: "In the last great day decisions will be made that will be a surprise to many.
Human judgment will have no place in the decisions then made. Christ can and will judge every
case; for all judgment has been committed to Him by the Father. He will estimate service by that
which is invisible to men. The most secret things lie open to His all-seeing eye. When the Judge of
all men shall make His investigation, many of those whom human estimation has placed first will be
placed last, and those who have been put in the lowest place by men will be taken out of the ranks
and made first. R. In the last great day decisions will be made that will be a surprise to many.

good Christian character! You are daily stamping a record of your life by your course of action

Comment: Mrs White uses this term "ALL-SEEING EYE" 55 times. We have only shown two
quotations here. This term cannot be found in the Bible. Only once do we find the single eye in
connection with God but all the other times it is used in the plural, eyes. (A little sidetrack here:
Note that these shepherds of the flock Ellen White condemned were in actual fact right, for the very
same parable of the five wise and five foolish virgins which the Adventists used for the time setting
of 1844 says: Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man
cometh. Matthew 25:13).

If you live in the United States of America, then from the time you become conscious of money, the
Great Seal becomes a part of your psyche - whether you realize it or not. Moreover, since U.S.
dollars are, in effect, standard international currency, this Great Seal infiltrates the minds of men the
world over - both free and bond. The centerpiece of this mandala is the All-Seeing Eye - an
important symbol within freemasonry and rosicrucian traditions for hundreds of years. So it is

not surprising to find pride among occultists who understand the significance of this emblem: "Our
beautiful seal is an expression of Freemasonry, an expression of occult ideas." (Wyckoff, H. S.
The Great American Seal. The Mystic Light, the Rosi crucian Magazine, p. 56) 1
Comment: The all-seeing eye and the sleepless one and the Holy Watcher are all derived from
freemasonry and the occult! ! ! !

MRS WHITE AND THE GREAT ARCHITECT, THE DIVINE ARCHITECT OR THE

ANGELIC ARCHITECT

Here is another quote from the same conspiracy archive:

"Roosevelt as he looked at the colored reproduction of the Seal was first struck with the
representation of the All-Seeing Eye,' a Masonic representation of Great Architect the Universe.
Next he was impressed with the idea that the foundation for the new order of the ages had been laid
in 1776 (May 1st, 1776, founding of the Illuminati) but would be completed only under the eye of
the Great Architect. Roosevelt like myself was a 32nd degree Mason. He suggested that the Seal
be put on the dollar bill rather that a coin."

Ellen G. White: "The great Architect has formed and fashioned the scenes of nature that they may
have an important bearing upon man's intellectual and moral character. These are to be God's
school to educate the mind and morals. Here the mind may have a vast field for study in the display
of the majestic works of the Infinite One. The rocks are among the precious things of earth,
containing treasures of wisdom and laiow ledge. In the rocks and mountains are registered the fact
that God did destroy the wicked from off the earth by a flood. " {OHC 252.2}

Ellen G. White: "God, the great Architect, has built these lofty mountains, and their influence
upon climate is a blessing to our world. They draw from the clouds enriching moisture. Mountain
chains are God's great reservoirs, to supply the ocean with its water. These are the sources of the
springs, rills, and brooks, as well as the rivers. They receive, in the form of rain and snow, the
vapors with which the atmosphere is charged, and communicate them to the parched plains below."
{OHC 253.4}

Ellen G. White: "The great Architect has formed and fashioned the scenes of nature that they may
have an important bearing upon man's intellectual and moral character. These are to be God's
school to educate the mind and morals. Here the mind may have a vast field for study in the display
of the majestic works of the Infinite One. The rocks are among the precious things of earth,
containing treasures of wisdom and knowledge. In the rocks and mountains are registered the fact
that God did destroy the wicked from off the earth by a flood. " — Our High Calling (1961), page
252, paragraph 2

Ellen G. White: "Christ's church on earth is to resemble heaven, a temple built after the pattern of
things shown in the holy mount. Man must give up his ideas, his plans, and devices, and let God
work out His original intentions. The great Designer must not be impeded in His work by human
wisdom. His work and purpose have not been understood. Through the miscalculations of man, the

church today is so misshapen that it can not be accepted by the great Builder. Human counsel has
been so abundant, that individual experience is rare. Men are placed where God should be. God's
plans are turned aside, and men 's measures brought in to fashion and mould. But the great and
perfect Designer pronounces the work imperfect. The temple that He is building after the pattern of
things in the heavens must have the exact proportions assigned it by the Architect, whose pattern is
without a flaw. He has brought the golden measuring rod from heaven, and every worker is
employed only as he works under His superintendence, and according to His plans. " - Lake
Union Herald, December 23, 1908, paragraph 2, Article Title: Extract from an Unpublished
Testimony Written March 13, 1897 (Concluded)

Ellen G. White: "God desires every human being in our world to be a worker together with him.
This is the lesson we are to learn from all useful employment, making homes in the forest, felling
trees to build houses, clearing land for cultivation. God has provided the wood and the land, and to
man he has given the work of putting them in such shape that they will be a blessing. In this work
man is wholly dependent upon God. The fitting of the ships that cross the broad ocean is not alone
due to the talent and ingenuity of the human agent. God is the great Architect. Without his co-
operation, without the aid of the higher intelligences, how worthless would be the plans of men.
God must aid, else every device is worthless. " - The Review and Herald, May 28, 1908,
paragraph 4

Ellen G. White: "When our Creator formed the world to be a habitation for man, its arrangements
were prepared by the God of wisdom to help the mental as well as the physical wants of man. The
great Architect has formed and fashioned the scenes of nature that they may have an important
bearing upon man 's intellectual and moral character. These are to be God's school to educate the
mind and morals. Here the mind may have a vast field for study in the display of the majestic works
of the Infinite One." - Manuscript Releases Volume Three [Nos. 162-209] (1990), page 216,
paragraph 2

Ellen G. White: "Day by day the human structure performs its work under the great Master
Architect, who superintends every function of the body, seeking to make it into a glorious temple
for Himself. . . . When God works so wondrously man the human agent, should become intelligent
in regard to the machinery of his body, that this temple of God shall not be misused. " - Letter 17,

words! We can not work by ourselves. God works, and we work. Let us study the words of
Inspiration. "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God which worketh in
you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. " "Ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. "
The great Architect wants to form us into a holy temple for himself. Only those who are partakers
of the divine nature can understand this. Those who walk even as Christ walked, who are patient,

gentle, kind, meek, and lowly in heart, those who yoke up with Christ and lift his burdens, who
yearn for souls as he yearned for them— these will enter into the joy of their Lord. They will see with
Christ the travail of his soul, and be satisfied. Heaven will triumph, for the vacancies made in
heaven by the fall of Satan and his angels will be filled by the redeemed of the Lord. " - The
Review and Herald, May 29, 1900, paragraph 12

Ellen G. White: "The great God has reared His mighty structures in the granite rocks, in the
towering mountains, in clefts, in the gulches, in the gorges, and in the castle rocks, and in the caves
of the earth. And with these surroundings— the work of God's power— how thankless the heart who
needs images of man to worship. The heathen who worship nature, the works of the divine hand,
are idolaters. But does not their worship strike the senses as more sensible than the worship of
images bearing the mold and impress of finite man? Everything about us teaches us from day to day
lessons of our Father's love and of His power, of His laws to govern nature, and that lie at the
foundation of all government in heaven and in earth. These rich tokens of God's matchless power, if
they will not call the mind to the Creator of heaven and earth, if they will not awaken gratitude in
these dull and thankless hearts, will images and shrines of dead men do this? We look upon nature.
We see the fields clothed with carpets of living green. We see the variety of His works. In this house
God has builded for man, every part of this house, diverse it may be from another, but we trace in
unmistakable tokens the handiwork of the great Architect. There is beauty in the valleys, awful
grandeur in the solemn masses of cleft rocks, majesty in the towering mountains that look as if they
touched the heavens. There is the lofty tree with its delicately formed leaves, the spires of grass, the
opening bud and blooming flowers, the forest trees, and everything points the mind to the great and
living God." Ms 62. 1886. pp. 28, 29. ("Second Visit to Italy," April 15-29, 1886.) White Estate

Comment: Guess who also uses the words: The great architect on a few occasions and always in
connection with nature, another expression not found in the Bible?

For it was in countless monasteries that the first depiction of the Deity were penned by anonymous
monks who imagined God - and drew God - as a literal architect, standing amid the heavens and
the earth wielding a magnificent compass above the darkness upon the face of the deep. And
to this day, we are all drawn to that ineffable mystery suggested by that darkness before the
light.

This idea has remained strongly ingrained in Western thought, and was perhaps most dramatically
manifested when a celebrated group of men we call the Founding Fathers lifted their light in an
effort to bring forth a new country on the North American continent. Most of the Founding
Fathers of America were products of the philosophical world-view of The Enlightenment, or
Age of Reason. It may surprise some of you to learn that these men were predominantly
Deists rather than Christians. Strictly defined, Deism is a belief in God based solely upon the
evidence of reason. The Deist position asserts that God created the universe and after setting it in
motion, abandoned it, assumed no control over life, exerted no influence on natural phenomena, and
gave no supernatural revelation.

Ellen G. White: "More than one hundred years before the flood, the Lord sent an angel to Noah, to
make known unto him his purpose in regard to the sinful race, that his Spirit would not always
strive with man, but that he would send a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy man and beast.
He would not leave the race ignorant of his design; but would, through Noah, warn the world of its
coming destruction, that the inhabitants might be left without excuse. Noah was to preach to the
people, and also to prepare an ark as God should direct him for the saving of himself and family.
Not only was he to preach, but his example in building the ark was to be a continual testimony of
warning to the world, showing that he believed what he preached. His simple, childlike faith, and
his implicit obedience, notwithstanding the opposition he received, was an evidence to the world of
his sincerity. He was firm as a rock to duty, directing the work of that singular building, under the
guidance of the Divine Architect. Every blow struck upon the ark was a witness to the people. " -

Those Founding Fathers who were Masons had knowledge of the Platonic concept of The Creator
as Divine Architect of the Universe, and had access to and knowledge of such works as the mid-
thirteenth-century Bible moralisee (which Benjamin Franklin is said to have seen while in France),

and were familiar with other works such as the early fourteenth-century Holkham Bible, both of

which depict the Supreme Being, compass in hand, walking through the heavens

To this day, Freemasons use "The Great Architect of the Universe" and other non-sectarian titles
to address the Deity. In using non-sectarian references to that which transcends all knowing,
persons of different faiths may join together in prayer, concentrating on the Universal Spirit rather
than on differences of culture and religion. Masonry has always championed religious freedom, and
the idea that the relationship between the individual and one God is a personal, private and sacred
matter.

Comment: Adventist literature tells us that William Miller had been a Deist. Sadly we were never
told that it was Freemasons who were Deists.

A British Israel website, Straight Talk , explains the hidden Zionist symbols of the Obverse and
Reverse sides of the Great Seal: (found on the one dollar bill of the USA)

"E. Raymond Capt, in his booklet, 'Our Great Seal says: The Great Seal given to our country, after
years of laborious heraldic and symbolic study, reveals our true national origin and destiny. The
Obverse face is Israel in the Old Testament; The Reverse face is our race under the New
Covenant. Each face is a masterly harmony of all that is potent in symbolism and prophecy. It was
originated and adopted by men who recognized the overshadowing presence of the Great Architect
of the Universe and submission to His will as revealed in the Scriptures and the Laws of
Nature. They planned a government in conformity to His great Plan. They recognized that
America's greatest task was to go toward the goal of the Plan — the eventual establishment of the
Kingdom of God on earth."

Comment: Whose was the all-seeing eye? God's? No!!!! The all-seeing eye belonged to the Great
Architect of the Universe who is Satan the one who is represented by the darkness found in Genesis
1 and elsewhere in the Bible. And Freemasons used this symbol for him and they placed this
symbol on the American Dollar bill. Now notice the following: That the USA government has been
established under the Great Architect of the Universe. Remember that the second beast of
Revelation 13 which we are told represents Protestant United States would have lamblike horns but
would speak as a dragon? Now notice from the quotation above the two things that Satan demands:
Submission to his will as revealed in Scriptures and the laws of nature.

Ellen G. White: "In the preparation of a people for the Lord's second coming, a great work is to
be accomplished through the promulgation of health principles. The people are to be instructed in
regard to the needs of the physical organism and the value of healthful living as taught in the
Scriptures, that the bodies which God has created may be presented to Him a living sacrifice, fitted
to render Him acceptable service. There is a great work to be done for suffering humanity in
relieving their sufferings by the use of the natural agencies that God has provided, and in teaching
them how to prevent sickness by the regulation of the appetites and passions. The people should be
taught that transgression of the laws of nature is transgression of the laws of God. They should
be taught the truth in physical as well as in spiritual lines, that "the fear of the Lord tendeth to
life. " Proverbs 19:23. "If thou wilt enter into life, " Christ says, "keep the commandments. "
Matthew 19:17. Live out My law "as the apple of thine eye." God's commandments, obeyed, are
"life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. "Proverbs 4:22. " {CH 206.3}

Comment: Notice that Ellen says that the transgression of the law of nature is equally sinful as the
transgression of the moral law of God. Notice that she mentions both the law of God together with
the laws of nature. The very same ones as those the great Architect of the Universe (Satan) wants to

use to establish his kingdom on earth commencing with the United States.

What does the Bible teach about the transgression of the laws of nature? Is it the transgression of

the moral law of God?

1 Timothy 4: 1-5 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from
the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy;
having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain
from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and
know the truth. For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received
with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

(Please note that I am a vegetarian and have no desire to change this and do believe that a meat diet
these days is not the best. Also this word creature may refer to created foods rather than creatures
but let me ask you a question: How successful would God's missionaries have been throughout the
centuries had they refused the food that was set before them by some of the hospitable heathen they
were hoping to win to Christ?)

Did Jesus obey the law of nature when He missed his meals or ate at irregular times? Did Jesus
obey the law of nature when He ate fish and meat? Did He obey the law of nature when He prayed
all night? Did He obey the law of nature when He fasted forty days? By Mrs White's standards
Jesus must have been a terrible sinner. By applying this law to ourselves we who are vegetarians
must therefore be better than Jesus Himself. And that is as Satan would have it.

How many churches do we know advocate both the law of the scriptures and the law of nature? I
know of only one church. So who is and has been advancing the kingdom of the Great Architect of
the Universe?

What name do the prophecies in the Book of Revelation give to something that would do this work?
See Revelation 16:13.

No doubt more churches and denominations fall under this term because anyone who supposedly
speaks for God but who in actual fact speaks for himself or God's enemy is a false prophet. In order
to keep God's people in the dark and to prevent them from being ready for the end-time issues Satan
has to replace the truth with something that is false. If Satan is behind the Adventist Movement then
the interpretation of prophecy Adventists have been taught will of course not take place exactly like
that. Therefore while the church members are forever waiting for something to take place they may
I actual fact be receiving the mark of the beast and not even realize it!

By obeying a false prophet after we have see that she is a false prophet but we prefer to continue to
believe her may very well constitute the mark of the beast since Ellen White appears to have been
aiding the enemy in the setting up of the New World order. It is interesting to note also that the
Jehova's Witnesses who also sprung from the 1844 date setting movement are founded on
Freemasonry and the Occult. Their magazine is called the Watchtower and their members are called
Witnesses. Do the Jehovah's Witnesses witness of Jesus? They cannot for they have stripped Him of
His divinity. They claim to be Witnesses of Jehovah but can they witness of Him without
acknowledging His Son? So whose witnesses are they and what does this word Watchtower refer
to?

http://www.demonbuster.com/watchers.html

The guardian spirits are also called the 'Watchtowers' by the practitioners and that they are called

forth from the north south, east and west in rituals.

Comment: Remember that Mrs White also used this word watcher or holy watcher? This refers to

spirits or demons and not to God.

that light. We are not channels of that light. This word channels is a spiritualistic term and is another
word for medium.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channelling_(mediumistic)

In spirituality Channelling or channeling is the communication of information to or through a
person (the channel or medium), from a spirit or other paranormal entity outside the mind (or self)
of the channel.

Channelling is part of the belief systems and rituals of many religions, such as shamanism .
Candomble . Voodoo . Kardecism . Umbanda . and more.

MRS WHITE AND PETER'S LADDER

Ellen G. White: Point the youth to Peter's ladder of eight rounds, and place their feet, not on the
highest round, but on the lowest, and with earnest solicitation urge them to climb to the very
top. {Mar 84.1}

Ellen G. White: "Beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue
knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 2 Peter 1:5-7. Point the
youth to Peter's ladder of eight rounds, and place their feet, not on the highest round, but on the
lowest, and with earnest solicitation urge them to climb to the very top. " - Maranatha (1976),
page 84, paragraph 1

Ellen G. White: "Many teachers permit their minds to take too narrow and low a range. They do
not keep the divine plan ever in view, but are fixing their eyes upon worldly models. Look up,
"where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God, " and then labor that your pupils may be conformed
to His perfect character. Point the youth to Peter's ladder of eight rounds, and place their feet, not
on the highest round, but on the lowest, and with earnest solicitation urge them to climb to the very
top. " - Testimonies for the Church Volume Six (1901), page 147, paragraph 1

Ellen G. White: "At 2 1/2 P.M., I spoke to the people about one hour and a half upon Peter's
ladder of sanctification consisting of eight rounds. I dwelt upon temperance and the importance of
parents' teaching their children self-denial, and self-control, guarding the appetite and taste from
indulgence at the expense of mental, moral, and physical strength. " - The Review and Herald,
May 11, 1876, paragraph 2

Ellen G. White: "I have before spoken to you of the plan of addition - Peter's ladder of eight

rounds. "Add to your faith virtue, and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, temperance; and to
temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to
brotherly kindness, charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall
neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. " - The Review and
Herald, January 4, 1887, paragraph 9

Ellen G. White: "The meetings were to close Wednesday, but on Tuesday the brethren entreated us
to remain over another Sabbath and Sunday. Some plead with tears that we should not leave them,
for the work was only just begun, and much would be gained if the meetings could continue. We
decided to comply with the request, and in obedience to our convictions of duty to continue our
work. We felt deeply anxious for this dear people. Some have had but a short experience; they need
to know more of the way of life. Many have confessed to fretfulness, quick temper, impatience, and
fault-finding. Oh! how our hearts are drawn out for this class, /mowing that many will not realize
how offensive these sins are in the sight of God until it is too late for them to form new characters
and be cleansed by the blood of Christ. We feel like entreating all who are indulging in these sins to
put them away and build up a character upon the true foundation, Jesus Christ. A new and
symmetrical character may be formed by laying up one grace and good deed upon another, thus
climbing Peter's ladder of eight rounds in sanctification. A character thus built will be harmonious
in all its paths. Faith will sustain works, for faith works by love and purifies the soul. " — The Signs
of the Times , May 6, 1880, paragraph 10

Ellen G. White: "Let me call your attention to Peter's ladder of eight rounds: "Add to your faith
virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to
patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if
these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in
the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. " - The Watchman, December 4, 1906, paragraph 9

Ellen G. White: "We have men claiming sanctification. Their works will show if they are
transformed into the image of Christ. Sanctification is not brought about instantaneously, but it is
accomplished by climbing the rounds of Peter's ladder of eight rounds. We must step on the first in
order to reach the highest. This ladder reaches from earth to heaven, and every soul that enters the
city of God will have to climb this ladder of self-denial, and this can be accomplished by laying
hold of the merits of a crucified and risen Saviour. Without this strength, temptation will sweep us
down the current to final destruction. " - Manuscript Releases Volume Three [Nos. 162-209]
(1990), page 84, paragraph 2

Ellen G. White: "No. 1 contains the following: 1. "The Ladder With Eight Rounds: or Bible
Sanctiflcation. "... 2. " 'Our Home ': or Three Weeks at Dansville, New York, " an account of the
visit of Brother and Sister White to that place, with what they saw... " - Ellen G. White Volume 2
The Progressive Years 1862-1876, By Arthur L. White (1986), page 110, paragraph 5

Christ... is the ladder. The base is planted firmly on the earth in His humanity; the topmost round
reaches to the throne of God in His divinity. The humanity of Christ embraces fallen humanity,
while His divinity lays hold upon the throne of God. We are saved by climbing round after round
of the ladder, looking to Christ, clinging to Christ, mounting step by step to the height of
Christ, so that He is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctiflcation and redemption.
Faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and charity are the
rounds of this ladder. All these graces are to be manifested in the Christian character; and "if ye do
these things, ye shall never fall: for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the
everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." {Mar 84.2}

http://www.theosophical.ca/SevenSoulsMan.htm

Theosophical society: Such was the nature of the "Wisdom" that a Gnostic like Paul, Epopt and
perfect, spoke amongst the perfected; and it would have been useless to have spoken such among A-
Gnostics who were of the fleshly faith. This was the mystical Christ who came BY and AS the Holy
Spirit; so Jesus is transformed into the Christ when the Holy Spirit descends upon him in his
Baptism! But, after this transformation, it is said in the same Gospel that the Holy Spirit was not yet
extant (or communicated), because Jesus was not yet glorified. To the genuine Gnostics this holy
spirit always had been extant; but here we see its very existence made altogether dependent upon
the personality and death of Jesus in the process of re-dating it and making him the author of it
historically. Barnabas knew better. He identifies the Christ with the Man of the eighth Soul, who
rose again on the Eighth Day of Creation!

Here the height was synonymous, and is identical, with the number eight! This height is represented
in the Buddhist, Gnostic, and Mithraic mysteries by a ladder with eight steps, the eighth, or
height, being the top of attainment, the place of the perfected; and so the octave was
completed at last in Buddha-hood, in Elijah-hood, in Christ-hood, or the divine man-hood, of
the pre-Christian religions; such likewise being the natural genesis of the eight ways and eight
paths of Buddhism.The Gnostics said salvation was brought by the Ogdoad; and the Saviour

personified was the mystical Octavius: the superior man of the eighth creation!

In the present instance, I suggest or claim that the Caesar as well as the Ra, the Repa,

the Buddha, or the Christ, was a titular representative of the eighth, the total and eternal soul ~
mythically the re-born Sun; mystically the re-born Spirit or glorified Ghost of Man.

Comment: So where does the mystical ladder lead to and who is the originator? It leads to the re-
born Sun, and the glorified ghost of man. We could say to man or even Satan worship. And Satan is
therefore the originator of this ladder and this system of climbing up to heaven by the true force of
the will. By the way, one does not always find eight rounds to this ladder. Often it contains only
seven rounds. But this ladder is in essence the same.

Please notice that Peter does not call it a ladder. The only thing that come close to what Ellen White
says are the words: Add to. But you can add to something immediately It does not have to be a long
drawn out process. Peter also says that if these things are in us and abound then we would not be
unfruitful. Peter actually rebukes those who only have a few of these graces. He says that if we do
not have them then we have forgotten that we were purged from our old sins and that we are
shortsighted, even blind. So once again, the very text Ellen White used to prove one thing actually

rebukes her and her followers. See 2 Peter 1:5-10.

ELLEN G. WHITE'S USE OF THE WORDS MYSTICAL BODY

Ellen G. White: "The Lord has constituted the husband the head of the wife to be her protector; he
is the house-band of the family, binding the members together, even as Christ is the head of the
church and the Saviour of the mystical body. Let every husband who claims to love God carefully
study the requirements of God in his position. Christ's authority is exercised in wisdom, in all
kindness and gentleness; so let the husband exercise his power and imitate the great Head of the
church." 216 {AH 215.1}

Ellen G. White: "Our Redeemer determined on nothing less than that through His merits the love
of God should be transfused through the soul that believes in Him. As our life, the vitality of God's
love is to circulate through every part of our nature, that it may abide in us as it dwells in Christ
Jesus. United with Christ by living faith, the Father loves us as the members of Christ's mystical
body, of which Christ is the glorified head. " {TMK 19.4}

Ellen G. White: "Exercise Authority With Humility— It is no evidence of manliness in the husband
for him to dwell constantly upon his position as head of the family. It does not increase respect for
him to hear him quoting Scripture to sustain his claims to authority. It will not make him more
manly to require his wife, the mother of his children, to act upon his plans as if they were infallible.
The Lord has constituted the husband the head of the wife to be her protector; he is the house-band
of the family, binding the members together, even as Christ is the head of the church and the
Saviour of the mystical body. Let every husband who claims to love God carefully study the
requirements of God in his position. Christ's authority is exercised in wisdom, in all kindness and
gentleness; so let the husband exercise his power and imitate the great Head of the church. " - The

Ellen G. White: Whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for My
sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. " Selfishness is death. No organ of the body could live
should it confine its service to itself. The heart, failing to send its lifeblood to the hand and the
head, would quickly lose its power. As our lifeblood, so is the love of Christ diffused through every
part of His mystical body. We are members one of another, and the soul that refuses to impart will
perish. And "what is a man profited, " said Jesus, "if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own
soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" — The Desire of Ages (1898), page 417,

astir, dispatching messengers to every part of the earth to carry forward the work of redemption,
the church of the living God are also to be colaborers with Christ. We are members of His mystical

is working on human hearts, effecting spiritual transformations so amazing that angels look on with
astonishment and joy. The same unselfish love that characterizes the Master is seen in the
character and life of His true followers. Christ expects that men will become partakers of His
divine nature while in this world, thus not only reflecting His glory to the praise of God, but
illumining the darkness of the world with the radiance of heaven. Thus will be fulfilled the words of
Christ: "Ye are the light of the world. "-Lift Him Up (1988), page 289, paragraph 2

the Lord has constituted the husband the head of the wife, to be her protector, the house-band,
binding the members of the family together, even as Christ is the head of the church and the Saviour
of the mystical body. Therefore he says, "As the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to

their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church,
and gave Himself for it; that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the
word, that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any
such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives. "

Ellen G. White: "The church of Christ is the only object on the earth upon which he bestows his
supreme regard; yet it has grown feeble and inefficient through selfishness. While all heaven is
astir, dispatching messengers to bear the divine will to every part of the earth, they expect the
church of the living God also to be co-laborers with Christ. He engages to come into the midst of
his church, and to honor their prayers and decisions by the manifestation of his grace and power.
They are members of his mystical body. Christ is their living head, controlling all the members of
the body. Jesus himself, in his infinite mercy, is experimenting on human hearts, and by his efforts,
effecting spiritual transformations so amazing that angels look on with astonishment and joy. The
same unselfish love that characterizes the Master, is seen in human lives and characters, and is
qualifying them to bear their part in the decisions of the judgment, and to share in the pleasures of
heaven. Christ expects that man will be partaker of his divine nature while in the world, and thus
convey a large amount of glory from earth to heaven. In full-souled piety, devotion, and ardor, man
is to be one with Christ and one with God. " - The Review and Herald, December 11, 1888,

Comment: The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ presided over by the visible head
the Pope according to the following writer:

By Fr. William G. Most

Speaking of full membership in the Church, Pius XII, in his Encyclical on the Mystical Body, said
it is the society of those who have been baptized, and who profess the faith of Christ, and who are
governed by their bishops under the visible head, the Pope, the Bishop of Rome.

The Church came into being when Christ died on the Cross, but it was formally inaugurated on
Pentecost, when He sent the Holy Spirit as He had promised. St. Paul speaks of all Christians as
members of Christ, so that with Him, they form one Mystical Body (Cf. 1 Cor 12:12-31; Col 1:18;
2:18-20; Eph. 1:22-23; 3:19; 4:13). St. Paul did not use the word Mystical. It was developed more
recently to bring out the fact that this union is unique, there is no parallel to it. It is not the same as
the union of a physical body, nor that of a business corporation.

The Church, the Mystical Body, exists on this earth, and is called the Church militant, because its
members struggle against the world, the flesh and the devil. The Church suffering means the souls
in Purgatory. The Church triumphant is the Church in heaven. The unity and cooperation of the
members of the Church on earth, in Purgatory, in Heaven is also called the Communion of Saints.
When St. Paul uses the word "Saints" in opening an Epistle, he does not mean they are morally
perfect. He has in mind Hebrew qadosh, which means set aside for God, or coming under the
covenant. Being such means of course they are called to moral perfection. But of course, not all
have reached it in this world.

The word "Saint" in the modern sense means someone who has been canonized by the Church in
recent times, or was accepted as such by the Church in earlier times. If a person is shown to have
practiced heroic virtue— beyond what people in general do - in all virtues, the title "Venerable" is
given; with two miracles by that one's intercession, the title is "Blessed"; two more miracles can
lead to canonization and the title of Saint.

PART FIVE: The Apostles' Creed IX-XII

Ninth Article: "The Holy Catholic Church; the Communion of Saints"

Ellen G. White: Every member of his church militant must manifest the same qualities, if he
would join the church triumphant. The love of Christ is so broad, so full of glory, that in
comparison to it, everything that men esteem as great, dwindles into insignificance. When we
obtain a view of it, we exclaim, O the depth of the riches of the love that God bestowed upon men
in the gift of his only begotten Son! {CE 76.3}

Ellen G. White: "God has a church upon the earth who are His chosen people, who keep His
commandments. He is leading, not stray offshoots, not one here and one there, but a people. The
truth is a sanctifying power; but the church militant is not the church triumphant. There are tares
among the wheat. "Wilt thou then that we . . . gather them up?" was the question of the servant; but
the master answered, "Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. "

His. " - Counsels for the Church (1991), page 240, paragraph 1

Ellen G. White: "Some people seem to think that upon entering the church they will have their
expectations fulfilled, and meet only with those who are pure and perfect. They are zealous in their
faith, and when they see faults in church members, they say, "We left the world in order to have no
association with evil characters, but the evil is here also; " and they ask, as did the servants in the
parable, "From whence then hath it tares?" But we need not be thus disappointed, for the Lord has
not warranted us in coming to the conclusion that the church is perfect; and all our zeal will not be
successful in making the church militant as pure as the church triumphant. " [TM 47 (1893)]. -

Ellen G. White: "God has a church upon the earth, who are His chosen people, who keep His
commandments. He is leading, not stray offshoots, not one here and one there, but a people. The
truth is a sanctifying power, but the church militant is not yet the church triumphant..." - Ellen G.
White Volume 4 The Australian Years 1891-1900, By Arthur L. White (1983), page 81,
paragraph 3

Ellen G. White: "The church militant is not now the church triumphant but God loves His church
and describes through the prophet how He opposes and resists Satan, who is clothing the children
of God in the blackest and most defiled garments, and pleading for the privilege of destroying them.
The angels of God were protecting them from the assaults of the enemy... " — Testimonies to
Ministers and Gospel Workers (1923), page 21, paragraph 2

Advice to Dominical monks: The Dominican puts on Christ by imitating him. A great actor most
successfully portrays an historical character when he studies his photographs, his mannerisms, the
most minute details of his life, and especially his spirit. An actor who has done this, especially if he
has been playing his role for an extended run, tends unconsciously to imitate the character he
portrays. If such close imitation can be effected in the case of a fellow man, a religious can more
easily do the same with the life of Jesus Christ, a member of the Mystical Body sharing Christ's
divine life. We admonish the brethren to observe silence even in small houses, especially at table,
not only because it is prescribed and is an easy means of mortification for all, but especially
because it is altogether necessary for a contemplative life and the study of sacred truth.
Comment: You cannot find these terms the mystical body of Christ or the church militant or
triumphant in the Bible. Could it be that Catholicism and Adventism are two sides of the same coin?

ELLEN G. WHITE AND HER EXPERIENCE OF THE BLESSING OF GOD

Ellen G. White: "As I prayed, the burden and agony of soul that I had so long felt left me, and the
blessing of God came upon me like the gentle dew. I gave glory to God for what I felt, but I longed
for more. I could not be satisfied till I was filled with the fullness of God. Inexpressible love for
Jesus filled my soul. Wave after wave of glory rolled over me, until my body grew stiff. Everything
was shut out from me but Jesus and glory, and I knew nothing of what was passing around me. "
{EW 12.1}

Ellen G. White: "In this state of mind I remained for three weeks, with not one ray of light to
pierce the thick clouds ofdarlcness around me. I then had two dreams which gave me a faint ray of
light and hope. [THE DREAMS HERE REFERRED TO WILL BE FOUND ON PAGES 78-81.]
After that I opened my mind to my devoted mother. She told me that I was not lost and advised me
to go and see Brother Stockman, who then preached to the Advent people in Portland. I had great
confidence in him, for he was a devoted and beloved servant of Christ. His words affected me and
led me to hope. I returned home and again went before the Lord, and promised that I would do and
suffer anything if I could have the smiles of Jesus. The same duty was presented. There was to be a
prayer meeting that evening, which I attended, and when others knelt to pray, I bowed with them
trembling, and after two or three had prayed, I opened my mouth in prayer before I was aware of it,
and the promises of God looked to me like so many precious pearls that were to be received by only
asking for them. As I prayed, the burden and agony of soul that I had so long felt left me, and the
blessing of God came upon me like the gentle dew. I gave glory to God for what I felt, but I longed
for more. I could not be satisfied till I was filled with the fullness of God. Inexpressible love for

to feel His precious love. We have a nearness to Him, and can hold sweet communion with Him. We
obtain distinct views of His tenderness and compassion, and our hearts are broken and melted with
contemplation of the love that is given to us. We feel indeed an abiding Christ in the soul. . . . Our
peace is like a river, wave after wave of glory rolls into the heart, and indeed we sup with Jesus
and He with us. We have a realizing sense of the love of God, and we rest in His love. No language
can describe it, it is beyond knowledge. We are one with Christ, our life is hid with Christ in God.

Him in glory. With strong confidence, we can call God our Father. Whether we live or die, we are

approaching to God through Jesus Christ. The longer we are in the heaven of bliss, the more and
still more of glory will be opened to us; and the more we know of God, the more intense will be our
happiness. The eternal weight of glory is not taken in all at once, but it pours its tide, wave after
wave, of glory into the mind and heart. When Christ said, Come unto me, he means us to walk with
him in this life, and be filled with love, satisfied with his presence in this world. All that human
nature can bear, we may receive here. But what is this compared with the hereafter. "Therefore are
they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the
throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall
the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed

With practice I became better at producing the vibrations. I noticed that just before the vibrations
came I was always "zapped" into a state of acute alertness. Sometimes it seemed as if my
consciousness was focussed into an oval disk at my body's face. But every time the vibrations
would slowly fade until I was back to normal again. When I opened my eyes, they were cloudy but
slowly cleared up. My body felt very heavy and stiff. My hands were stiff and hard to open.
Sometimes I was also slightly dizzy after the experiment.

Comment: This person practiced out of the body experiences. Notice the waves or vibrations then
the stiffness of body. In other places Ellen White said that she noticed everything being so dark after
her visions. This is close to what this person experienced.

ELLEN G. WHITE AND THE LESSER AND GREATER LIGHT

Ellen G. White: "Sell Books That Give Light.— The Lord has sent His people much instruction, line
upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, and there a little. Little heed is given to the Bible, and
the Lord has given a lesser light to lead men and women to the greater light. Oh, how much good
would be accomplished if the books containing this light were read with a determination to carry

more self-denial and resolute effort. And many more would now be rejoicing in the light of present
truth." {CM 125.2}

Ellen G. White: "The prophet John was the connecting link between the two dispensations. As
God's representative he stood forth to show the relation of the law and the prophets to the Christian
dispensation. He was the lesser light, which was to be followed by a greater. The mind of John was
illuminated by the Holy Spirit, that he might shed light upon his people; but no other light ever has
shone or ever will shine so clearly upon fallen man as that which emanated from the teaching and
example of Jesus. Christ and His mission had been but dimly understood as typified in the shadowy
sacrifices. Even John had not fully comprehended the future, immortal life through the Saviour. "

fuller and more glorious light had dawned. Those who despise the blessings and glory of the Jewish
age are not prepared to be benefited by the preaching of the gospel. The brightness of the Father's
glory, and the excellence and perfection of His sacred law, are only understood through the
atonement made upon Calvary by His dear Son; but even the atonement loses its significance when

Ellen G. White: "The religion of the Jews, in consequence of their departure from God, consisted
mostly in ceremony. John was the lesser light, which was to be followed by a greater light. He was
to shake the confidence of the people in their traditions, and call their sins to their remembrance,
and lead them to repentance; that they might be prepared to appreciate the work of Christ. God
communicated to John by inspiration, illuminating the prophet that he might remove the
superstition and darkness from the minds of the honest Jews, which had been, through false
teachings for generations, gathering upon them. " - The Review and Herald, April 8, 1873,

Ellen G. White: "The Lord has sent his people much instruction, line upon line, precept upon

Ellen G. White: "With the first advent of Christ there was ushered in an era of greater light and
glory; but it would indeed be sinful ingratitude to despise and ridicule the lesser light because a
fuller and more glorious light had dawned. Those who despise the blessings and glory of the Jewish
age are not prepared to be benefited by the preaching of the gospel. The brightness of the Father's
glory, and the excellence and perfection of his sacred law, are only understood through the

atonement made upon Calvary by his dear Son; but even the atonement loses its significance when
the law of God is rejected. " - The Signs of the Times , August 25, 1887, paragraph 9, Article

Comment: The Bible uses the word Lesser light and greater light only once, for the moon and the
sun in the creation story. So who uses these terms lesser and greater light regularly and where does
the lesser light lead us?

http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/meaning_of masonry/thegreaterandlesserlights.htm

Now the fact is that the candidate can only see the three greater Lights by the help of the three
lesser ones. In other words the lesser triad is the instrument by which he beholds the greater
one; it is his own perceptive faculty (subject) looking out upon something larger (object) with
which it is not yet identified, just as so small a thing as the eye can behold the expanse of the
heavens and the finite mind can contemplate infinitude.

http://www.masonicworld.com/education/files/oct06/DEEPER%20SYMBOLISM.htm

To each of us also from our birth have been given "three lesser lights", by means of which the lodge
within ourselves may be illumined. The "Sun" symbolizes our spiritual consciousness (the
higher aspirations and emotions of the soul), while the "Moon" betokens our reasoning and
intellectual faculties, which in the same manner as the moon reflects the light of the sun in physical
nature, should reflect the light coming from the higher spiritual faculty and transmit it into our daily
conduct. The "Master of the Lodge" is a symbolical phrase denoting the will-power of man .
which should enable him to be master of his own life, and control his actions, even as the stroke of
the Master's gavel controls the Lodge and calls to order the Brethren under his direction. By the
assistance of these "lesser lights," we are enabled to perceive what is, symbolically, called the
"form of the Lodge," i.e. the way in which our human nature has been composed and constituted,
the length, breadth, height and depth of our being. By them too, we may perceive how Wisdom,
Strength and Beauty have been employed by the Almighty Architect, like three grand supporting
pillars, in the structure of our organism. Finally, with the aid of the "lesser lights" we may
discover that there is a mystical ladder "of many rounds or staves" or, alternatively, that there
are innumerable path or methods by means of which men are led upwards to the spiritual
Light encircling us all,

Comment: Is not Ellen White or her writings a lesser light that leads to the greater light? Does she
not teach us about the ladder of many rounds and that we are to climb to the top? This spiritual light
TO WHICH THE LADDER IS LEADING is not God but the light of the GREAT ARCHITECT OF
THE UNIVERSE whom Freemasons worship. He is known as Lucifer and therefore Satan himself
who is working through them to take hold of the throne of the world. Please note that Freemasons
often attach different meanings to their symbols in order to keep those they are teaching in the dark
concerning their true intent. The words lesser lights and greater lights are frequently used in their
writings with different or plural meanings.

Please notice above also that the master of the Lodge denotes the will-power of man. The following
is taken from The Consecrated Way, a sanctuary manual used by SDA's.

The WILL is king. Page 6.

The WILL is the real you. Where is your will? Your feeling is not the real you but a reflection of sin
in you. . . . The fight of faith is a fight of the WILL. Page 7.

Ellen G. White: "You will be in constant peril until you understand the true force of the will. You
may believe and promise all things, but your promises and your faith are of no account until you
put your will on the right side. If you will fight the fight of faith with your will-power, there is no
doubt that you will conquer. " {CTBH 148.1}

Ellen G. White: "Every child should understand the true force of the will. He should be led to see
how great is the responsibility involved in this gift. The will is the governing power in the nature of
man, the power of decision, or choice. Every human being possessed of reason has power to
choose the right. In every experience of life, God's word to us is, "Choose you this day whom ye
will serve. "Joshua 24:15. Everyone may place his will on the side of the will of God, may choose to
obey Him, and by thus linking himself with divine agencies, he may stand where nothing can force
him to do evil. In every youth, every child, lies the power, by the help of God, to form a character
of integrity and to live a life of usefulness. " {Ed 289.1}

ELLEN G. WHITE'S DREAM OF SEEING JESUS

Ellen G. White: "Soon after this I had another dream. I seemed to be sitting in abject despair, with
my face in my hands, reflecting like this: If Jesus were upon earth, I would go to Him, throw myself
at His feet, and tell Him all my sufferings. He would not turn away from me; He would have mercy
upon me, and I would love and serve Him always. Just then the door opened, and a person of
beautiful form and countenance entered. He looked upon me pitifully, and said: "Do you wish to
see Jesus? He is here, and you can see Him if you desire it. Take everything you possess, and
follow me. " I heard this with unspeakable joy, and gladly gathered up all my little possessions,
every treasured trinket, and followed my guide. He led me to a steep and apparently frail stairway.
As I began to ascend the steps, he cautioned me to keep my eyes fixed upward, lest I should grow
dizzy and fall. Many others who were climbing the steep ascent fell before gaining the top.

Finally we reached the last step, and stood before a door. Here my guide directed me to leave all
the things that I had brought with me. I cheerfully laid them down. He then opened the door, and
bade me enter. In a moment I stood before Jesus. There was no mistaking that beautiful
countenance; that expression of benevolence and majesty could belong to no other. As His gaze
rested upon me, I knew at once that He was acquainted with every circumstance of my life and all
my inner thoughts and feelings.

"I tried to shield myself from His gaze, feeling unable to endure His searching eyes; but He drew
near with a smile, and laying His hand upon my head, said, "Fear not. " The sound of His sweet
voice thrilled my heart with a happiness it had never before experienced. I was too joyful to utter a
word, but, overcome with emotion, sank prostrate at His feet. While I was lying helpless there,
scenes of beauty and glory passed before me, and I seemed to have reached the safety and peace of
heaven. At length my strength returned, and I arose. The loving eyes of Jesus were still upon me,
and His smile filled my soul with gladness. His presence awoke in me a holy reverence and an
inexpressible love. My guide now opened the door, and we both passed out. He bade me take up
again all the things I had left without. This done, he handed me a green cord coiled up closely.
This he directed me to place next my heart, and when I wished to see Jesus, take it from my
bosom, and stretch it to the utmost. He cautioned me not to let it remain coiled for any length of
time, lest it should become knotted and difficult to straighten. I placed the cord near my heart, and
joyfully descended the narrow stairs, praising the Lord, and telling all whom I met where they
could find Jesus." Christian Experience and Teachings of Ellen G. White (1922), page 27,
paragraph 1.

Ellen G. White: "DREAM OF SEEING JESUS. This dream gave me hope. The green cord
represented faith to my mind, and the beauty and simplicity of trusting in God began to dawn upon
my soul. " - Christian Experience and Teachings of Ellen G. White (1922), page 28, paragraph

Comment: Where and when can we find Jesus according to Ellen G. White:? In the secret
chamber at the top of the stairs. I say secret because her guide must have closed the door behind
Ellen and himself since he later opened that door before Ellen could go back down again.
Remember the sanctuary Ellen White had seen where Jesus could be found behind a closed door?

So then what does this coiled green cord represent? And why was Ellen given this cord? What was
she to do with it?

She was to take it from her bosom and stretch it to the uttermost. Then she would see Jesus. Now
read the following passages and you will understand what this green cord is and what it will do:

Occult symbols: The following sentences are part of a poem on the shakras. This part refers to the
heart shakra. Notice the fact that even the word cord is being used.

12 petals stretch into radiating cords of energy then move to the YES line...

-The Seven Chakras-

Chakras are like the non-physical organs. Physical simply means that a material is on a wavelength
that is dense enough for us to perceive. (Other categories of density are astral, etheric, mental. Prana
being an etheric substance.) Chakras are like organs in our energy flow. Sort of like the heart in our
blood flow. There is an entire energy flow in our body, even though we can't see it.

On the picture (left) our seven main chakras. They are placed along a vertical line. Nothing in our
body was randomly created. The fact that there are seven of them has an important scientific value.
So does the fact that they are in the colors of the rainbow.

The chakras support our body with energy. Chakras, meaning 'wheel' in Sanskrit language, spin.
This movement is rather the intensity of the chakra's strength. The stronger this intensity, the
brighter and stronger the chakra. Chakras together support the energy flow.

The most reverential of cultures towards snakes were the Aztecs of pre-Columbia. One of their
principal gods was the Feathered Serpent, Quetzalcoatl. One of the most enigmatic and fascinating
figures in ancient religion and mythology, Quetzalcoatl was most often portrayed as a green
serpent with a feather-crested head, similar in many ways to the Chinese dragon. He came to
represent water, rain, the wind, human sustenance, penitent, self-sacrifice, re-birth, the morning star
of Venus and butterflies. Unlike most other Aztec deities, Quetzalcoatl was said to oppose all forms
of sacrifice apart from self-bleeding. However, his brother Tezcatlipoca was jealous of the god's
purity and goodness, and cast an evil spell to transform Quetzalcoatl into a pale-skinned, bearded
human. Shortly afterward, Quetzalcoatl sacrificed himself in order to return again, with the bones
from the Underworld which would be made into human beings. Quetzalcoatl taught his creation all
he knew, and bestowed gifts of fire and maize. He could also heal the sick. Once satisfied,
Quetzalcoatl was said to have sailed into the West on a raft of serpents, with the promise that he

would one day return.

"Kundalini," which means "the coiled one," is the invisible holy energy that yogis believe
resides at the base of our spines, coiled just like a snake in the equally invisible energy center
(chakra) called "Muladhar," close to the coccyx.

Comment: Please note that even among those who are into spiritualistic practices that there are
slight differences of opinions. The coiled snake supposedly resides in the base of our spine but as it
is meant to travel upwards to our minds it will at some stage of course reside in the heart region.
Notice also that there is a number seven employed here. The seven or eight rounds of the ladder
basically represent the seven shakrahs of the body.

Notice that Satan can nearly always find access and take control over mankind by means of the
senses, especially through sexuality. In the Old Testament Satan could not curse God's people but he
managed to get them destroyed by introducing wicked women into the camp of the Israelites.
Commencing with the lower regions, symbol of the senses, Satan gains access to the central or heart
region which represents man's soul (inner feelings and thoughts). If he can control man from this
point he can reign also over man's spirit which is supposed to connect with God. Satan's aim is to
thus harness man's power in the battle against Christ and heaven. Think back now on Ellen White's
frequent use of the term the "true force" of the will. Separate "true force" from the will compare it
with the invisible holy energy mentioned above. Another name of this force is Kundalini.

http://ezinearticles.com/7Kundalini — the-Secrets-and-Dangers-of-the-Coiled-
Serpent&id=214842

Yogis believe that no spiritual knowledge and "final liberation" (nirvana) is possible without
awakening this Kundalini energy.

When awakened through long years of hatha-yoga, meditation, prayers and "grace," Kundalini
allegedly rises along the "shusumna," the non-physical energy channel that parallels the human
spine, and shoots up towards the brain.

Along the way, Kundalini supposedly "pierces through" (according to the classical description
in yogic texts) the seven chakras until it reaches the one on the top of the skull - the Crown
Chakra.

I've witnessed scary cases where I couldn't tell if the person was on his way to getting liberated and
illuminated, or to the nearest mental asylum.

One early author, Gopi Krishna, whose Kundalini was awakened pretty much accidentally, wrote in
great length about the agonies he went through for years to "control the fire" that was consuming
him nonstop day and night.

Thus you should be very careful before you make any attempts to "awaken" your Kundalini on your
own. I don't think there are too many people in the world who really know the exact nature of this
process and things can go wrong suddenly, sometimes without a remedy or a cure.

Comment: As you can see from the above, meddling with this energy that is supposedly within the

human being, or within devils or wherever this power comes from, is extremely dangerous and will
end with disastrous results for everyone. My Bible says the following about the disastrous result of
this very same phenomena: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and
they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth
the mark of his name. Revelation 14:11. Notice that smoke is always the result of a fire. People
will go through agonies because of this "fire" that will consume them nonstop day and night! ! ! ! !
The Bible uses the symbol of fire for false worship or religious practices.

It looks like we do not need to take part in the eastern mystical religions or in spiritualism in order
to release this terrible power. Those who continue to believe and promote Ellen G. White: as a
prophet of God after they have seen the origins of her writings will end up being tormented by
evil spirits day and night! It will be the logical outcome of placing ourselves under the control
of an evil spirit who inspired her writings.

We have to conclude that Ellen White was a medium the devil has been and is deceiving millions of
honest souls. Faith in her as a prophet of God and reading and accepting her writings has caused
them to fall into a spiritual sleep regardless of how much they pray or study the Word of God at the
same time. The essence of beast worship is the acceptance of man-made doctrines. By accepting
doctrines of devils we are effectively worshipping the dragon. See Revelation 13:3-4.

OTHER EVIDENCES OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE CRAFT OF REEMASONRY IN

ADVENTISM:

After the disappointment of 1 844, Israel Dammon who had been in one of the earliest meetings of
Adventists was apprehended for being a disturber of the peace and sentenced to 10 days in a house
of correction. But he never went to jail because a Freemason bailed him out.

Here follows another incident with regards to a Mr Faulkhead a Seventh Day Adventist who himself
said he had been the highest positions in several Freemasonry Lodges.

No 4 of Biographical books: Ellen White Gives the Secret Signs

She spoke most earnestly of the dangers of his connection with Freemasonry, warning that "unless
he severed every tie that bound him to these associations, he would lose his soul. " She repeated to
him words spoken by her guide. Then, giving a certain movement with her hands that was made by
her guide, she said, "I cannot relate all that was given to me. "-Letter 46, 1892. {4BIO 52.2}

At this, Faulkhead started and turned pale. Recounting the incident, he wrote: {4BIO 52.3}

"Immediately she gave me this sign. I touched her on the shoulder and asked her if she knew what
she had done. She looked up surprised and said she did not do anything unusual. I told her that she
had given me the sign of a Knight Templar. Well, she did not know anything about it. " - DF 522a,
N.D.

"They talked on. She spoke further of Freemasonry and the impossibility of a man being a
Freemason and a wholehearted Christian. Again she made a certain movement, which "my
attending angel made to me. " - (MS 54, 1899). {4BIO 52.5}

Again Mr. Faulkhead started, and the blood left his face. A second time she had made a secret sign,
one known only to the highest order of Masons. It was a sign that no woman could know, for it was
held in the strictest secrecy - the place of meeting was guarded both inside and outside against

strangers. "This convinced me that her testimony was from God, " he stated. - Ibid. {4BI0 53.1}.
